Rise/Set/Transit Times for Solar System Bodies and Stars

	Rise/Set/Transit Times for Solar System Bodies and Stars This data service provides the times of rise, set, and transit for the major solar system bodies and selected bright stars. The output table also includes azimuth at rise and set as well as altitude at transit. Data will be provided for a three year period from 1 January of the preceding year through 31 December of the following year. For dates outside of this range, see MICA and our other data services. Use Form A for cities or towns in the U.S. or its territories. Use Form B for all other locations. Both forms are immediately below. Be sure to read the Notes section (on this page beyond the two forms) for definitions and additional details on the data.
